No jail time for school bus driver who admitted to raping 14-year-old girl

[DesertRat]

The 26-year-old will also not be included in online sex offender databases because he is considered a low risk offender.

WATERTOWN, New York — A judge handed down 10 years' probation last week to a former New York school bus driver after he admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl.

Shane Piche, 26, will be registered as a Level 1 sex offender, according to the Waterford Daily Times. The judge reportedly said because he had no prior arrests and there was one victim, the sentence was appropriate.

He pleaded guilty in February to raping a 14-year-old girl who he met through his job as a bus driver with the city's school district, the newspaper reports.

Piche also was charged with unlawfully dealing with a child and endangering the welfare of a child after he allegedly gave the girl alcohol.

[DesertRat]

7. I know! WTF?!

[Merlot]

28. Becasue there was only "one" victim

Apparently the first one is a "freebee" from prosecution.

[robbob]

29. In trumpland they call that a mulligan.

No words. Sick to my stomach.

[Bettie]

38. I figured it was "Revenge of the

Incels".

Jeez. So awful.

[mcar]

2. Probation for raping a child?

[TexasBushwhacker]

3. WHAT THE HELL????!!!

[unblock]

5. lucky for him he didn't break a serious law like having recreational drugs....

[yardwork]

20. Seriously! People have been given life in prison for drugs.

[maxsolomon]

48. They have?

for simple possession? for simple possession as a third strike?

i'd like to know who, when and where.

[yardwork]

50. For selling small amounts of drugs, under old mandatory sentencing laws in the 1980s.

[lark]

6. Shame this judge and kick him out of office - impeach him if possible.

I hope his wife (if he has one) divorces him, but with his hatred for women, doubt he's got much female presence in his life.

[Ohiogal]

8. What the ever lovin' .........

I hope this girl's family has a good lawyer! This is outrageous!

[shenmue]

9. This is disgusting

Who wants to bet he's going to do it again?

Fuck Judge Asshole!

13. What a disgusting couple of pigs!

How is this happening? WTF!!

[MagickMuffin]

17. That could be his son, they look a lot alike

So, maybe the "judge" thought he was looking through the looking glass.

I guess he'd feel the same about passing a judgment like this even if it was his mother. He has a hatred for females.

[backtoblue]

11. Anyone want to take a guess why victims don't come forward?!! I

The system failed this child.

[ananda]

12. We currently live in a culture of rape.

...

[sheshe2]

14. What the hell?

So, since it was just his first offense, the judge told the world that it was okay to rape a child. The picture above oozes white male privilege.

Had this been a black man they would have been hung. Lest we forget Emmett Till a 14 year old child was brutally murdered for alleged flirting and this asshole walks.

This makes me sick.

[DesertRat]

26. I thought about what would have happened if the rapist was black

You're right, he probably wouldn't have lived to have a trial and definitely wouldn't have gotten off scot-free.

[sheshe2]

33. I am angry beyond belief.

Read about the fugging judge here.

Judge James P. McClusky: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

snip

Kristen Clarke, the President & Executive Director for the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, tweeted of the situation, “Shane Piche, white, admitted to raping a 14 yr old girl. He will do NO jail time. 16 yr old Kaleif Browder, African American, spent 3 yrs on Rikers Island awaiting trial on an accusation that he stole a backpack. Much of the time was spent in solitary confinement.”

Similarly, Andi Zeisler, the cofounder of Bitch Media, tweeted, “I don’t know who needs to hear this but YOUNG WHITE GUYS GET ONE FREE RAPE is an indefensible judicial stance.”


5. People on Twitter Are Encouraging Others to ‘Take Action,’ & Are Sharing McClusky’s Information on Twitter

Justice Now!

[DesertRat]

37. Thanks, I'll share the info on FB and Twitter. nt

[sheshe2]

44. Thanks.

sShare it far and wide.

[bluestarone]

15. Un-fucking believable!

This judge needs to be investigated himself!! Probably child porn all over his computer!!

[marble falls]

16. So who's this white guy's parents?

[sheshe2]

36. I just posted about the POS judge above.

I am furious!

[Bob Loblaw]

18. If this was my daughter

nothing would prevent me from meting out justice.

[JDC]

25. I'm w you on that

[Nuggets]

32. Same here.

She takes all the correct, painfully slow steps and this morally bankrupt judge robs her of justice, emboldens her attacker more, and any other creep like him that sees how easy it is to get away with.

This makes me sick.

[ProudLib72]

35. I was about to say

So it's up to the parents to administer justice. I have zero problem with that. Our justice system is completely broken.

[Bettie]

39. I'd be out in front of his house

on the public sidewalk every freaking day, telling anyone who passes by that he's a rapist.

[Blue_Tires]

19. So I guess this is a free ticket for him to do it again?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

21. WTF?!?!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[sheshe2]

40. If he had been sent to prison as you and I know he should have been...

At least we know there are advocates out there that want to preserve his right to vote. That pervert committed a violent crime on her body, took away her dignity, her right to her body and a safe childhood. Her life has been forever changed. Will she be able to survive? Will the scars ever heal? I have no answer to that.

I agree with your sentiments..

"WTF!"

[lpbk2713]

22. So damn wrong.

Justice has not been served. I hope the judge pays for this.

[uponit7771]

23. Bet this judge gives 20 years hard confinement for weed

[JDC]

24. Fuuuuck that! Ridiculous

[democrank]

27. Unbelievable

“low risk offender”

[Nuggets]

30. Exactly how is 10 yrs probation appropriate?

What is wrong with this judge?
Is he insane?

[shanti]

31. O.M.G.

What a travesty of justice He looks like an incel.

[Jarqui]

34. If she was less than 13 years old, he would have got

http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article130.htm#p130.35
The sentence range for that is 5-15 years, "B" Violent Felony, rape in the 1st degree

But here is where he falls in NY State Penal Law
http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article130.htm#p130.30

S 130.30 Rape in the second degree.
A person is guilty of rape in the second degree when:
1. being eighteen years old or more, he or she engages in sexual
intercourse with another person less than fifteen years old;

that is a "D" Violent Felony with a sentence range of 2-7 years
http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/felony_sentences.htm

If I were that girl's father, I might be in jail by now.

[Doreen]

41. It would have been different

if he has raped a boy. He would be in jail for a long time and all of those things they won't do now to punish him would be done.

In this time women are going back to being worth nothing.

[LuvNewcastle]

47. I was thinking the same thing.

If a Catholic priest had done this to a boy, people would be screaming for his head. It's interesting to see how gender influences people's judgement when it comes to crime.

[MineralMan]

42. Dude is a classic incel. He'll do it again.

Guarandamnteed.

[shanti]

43. We all know what the outcome would have been

if this asshole had been black or latino.

[Ilsa]

45. Texas justice! Yeah, they sure are tough on crime

In texas!

I hope kharma goes into overtime on this one.

[niyad]

46. is there a recall petition against that judge?

[maxsolomon]

49. Was it Statutory Rape?

That's the only extenuating circumstance I can imagine...
